Yes Cubase does this and that, but only in the "SX" version which is an overbloated seqeuncer I simply don't need to pay for. Steinberg is in for a surprise, Digital Performer 5 is now available as an upgrade for about $400 US dollars. That's competitive with Cubases junky, clunky software and...

I have seen that Steinberg has released a major patch for Cubase 3 that probably turns it into a usable product. I currently have Cubase 2.0 SL and am working but would like to upgrade my OS to Tiger. I can get the upgrade for $99.00, but should I? Anyone having good or bad experiences with...

I have a Kenton control freak and a Yamaha A4000 sampler. I'm connecting them via an m-audio 4x4 and my OSX laptop with Cubase SL. The control freak sends fine, it works with virtual synths and cubase. However, nothing I try with the A4000 seems to work. Why won't the A4000 respond to the...

I am using Cubase SL 2.x patched. When running (2) midi tracks, 1 midi track sends to a hardware sampler running an FMBass sound. The sampler is set to midi channel 1. the second midi track is set for midi channel 2 and sends to a vst synth. When I am running the FMBass track and depress a...

I would like to apply an effect, a high pass filter for example, to a midi track in Cubase SL 2.0. However, I only want the filter to be applied to the track when I am keying a sound from another midi track. Even more specifically, I would like the filtering applied when I hold the keys down for...

Has anyone tried the new pluggins from m-audio? iZotope looks very interesting and affordable. Any comments?

I just aquired a Jomox XBASE 09 which is very cool so far. However, I don't understand how to get my sequencer to send individual notes to the Jomox, the entire pattern keeps playing instead. I'm trying to use my current Cusbase sequencer to salvage all of my drum programming although I do...

I am currently working with Cubase SL 2.0 and am have several MIDI tracks near completion. While mixing the tracks for balance seems to be fairly intuitive by ear, I did have a question about volume levels. How loud should I pump up each part? Or should I setup the mix at low volume levels? How...

I have friend running windows based software. He's looking at an Echo Layla 3G. Anyone else running one? How is it? thanks...

Under my multichannel vst device setup, the motu 828 ASIO device has the direct monitoring box greyed out. Is there a new ASIO device driver that supports this?

Anyone have a suggestion for a brass instrument mic. Trombone in particular. I would like the type the clips to the bell and is appropriate for recording a brass sound. I would be running this into a compressor at minimum and probably eq as well. thanks for any info,

I love my new 828mkII but I do have one thing I can't seem to figure out. I have an HHb BurnIt 830 CD Recorder. The 830 has both Optical and Coax SPDIF connectors for IN and OUT. I would like to send the SPDIF out from my main mix on the 828 to the 830 and record if possible. The motu 828...

Anyone have a favorite vst drum machine? Battery 2 for NI is interesting, any opinions? and I know there are always opinions. What are you using? What's cool? What's not cool... thanks,

After thinking way to much, I'm asking. Audio on a computer is new to me so don't laugh. Well, ok, you can laugh as long as you provide good information<G> :D I'm using Cubase SL 2.0 on Mac OS X. What is the relationship of "Core Audio" to ASIO drivers? Will a MOTU 828mkII have any issues or...

The Motu 828 mkii looks great; however, I heard that there customer service was extremely poor. Is this outdated information? Also, is this unit optimized for Windows or Mac? I'm running OSX with Cubase SL 2. Any advice or myth busting welcome. thanks...
